S72.464N
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of lower end of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with nonunion
This code signifies a fracture of the lower right thigh bone, specifically above the condyles but extending into the joint, that is not displaced. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, which was initially an open fracture (meaning the bone broke through the skin) of a severe type, and the bone fragments have failed to heal together properly.
This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed open supracondylar fracture of the right femur with intracondylar extension, where the fracture has not united. This would be used during subsequent visits for ongoing management of the nonunion, such as planning for revision surgery or monitoring the healing process.
